Why is it essential to carry out a legionella risk assessment?
Microorganisms known as legionella bacteria are naturally occurring in freshwater settings such as lakes and streams. But when they multiply in man-made water systems, like air conditioners, hot tubs, and showers, they become a health hazard.
They can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a severe type of pneumonia, when breathed when aerosolised, underscoring the significance of keeping an eye on and managing their presence in artificial water systems.
Frequent assessments are crucial, particularly in highly crowded cities like Birmingham.
